Need a small amount of beaten egg for a recipe ie about half an egg. Will the rest keep in the fridge for 24 hours or will I give myself collywobbles?

Can you not bear it to go in the bin.....?

Making some eggy bread to eat with the leftover mushrooms for a late solo breakfast on Sunday morning. While I may be more domestic poltergiest than domestic goddess, I try not to waste food...

yes.

it will be fine.

just give it a sniff before you use it, as egg gets REALLY smelly when it's gone off. If it doesn't smell or it smells quite nice, it's fine.

It should be fine for more than 24 hours though so don't worry.
